CHICAGO. Trade maintains a steady course, and, aside from the sentimental effect of financial troubles in the Kast, there is sustained confidence felt here as to the outlook. Transportation of finished materials, general merchandise and other couinio.iities exe. 1 that at this time last year, and, while the aggregate of new demands for manufactures has narrowed, there is seasonable activity in most lines of distribution. Payments through the banks again make a largely increased showing, legitimate discount requirements are promptly extended to responsible borrowers, and there is less general pressure for money for commercial purposes, but an Increased number of trading defaults appears this week, indicating further elimination of weak concerns. Most banking accommodation for industrial purpose. is amply provided for until the turn of the year, and, while the drain of currency to move crops has become heavier, there is no apparent reason to question the soundness of business. Wen there any existing difficulty in disposing of the products of the soil or any evidence of shrinkage in the purchasing power some apprehension might ensue, but crop marketings continue in excels of the high aggregate a year ago. Raw materials exhibit no decline in the volume of absorption.

NEW YORK. Trade and industry have tended toward quiet in sympathy with reports of financial unsettlement at New York and a few other cities, the continuance of mild weather affecting as it does retail distribution, the natural seasonable slowing down of jobbing trade and the influence upon retail trade and collections of the continuance of the holding movement of crops. On the other hand, the financial situation at New York, generally speaking, seems to be well in hand,; the New York banks, under courageous and experienced leadership. a:e meeting conditions as they arise with discretion ; recent declines in prices of cereals and cotton have encouraged foreign demand for the country's products, the holding of cotton, a gTeat exchange-making medium, is showing some signs of relaxing, and lowered prices of domestic commodities lead to the hope that the demand of a prosperous country, affected by .the unduly high level of some commodities, will revive.

A mild winter, says John Peterman, Butler's hornet nest prophet. The hornets are building high in the air. If the Igns are for severe cold, they build on the ground, where the snow drifts over them to protect the larvae from the cold. If they select a place high for their nest, they prophesy a warm, open winter. The corn husks, too, tell of a mild winter, says the hornet nest prognoeticator. They are thia and few.

BALLOONS IN RACE FOUR GREAT NATIONS VIE AERIAL CONTEST. XIne Team erf Lend Ins Countries of lhc World Race Amltl the Clouds at the International Airship Contest at St. Louis. Nine mammoth balloons, representing four of the great nations of the world, started at St. Louis Monday aftcrnoon on a voyage which was expected to add au important chapter to the history of aerial navigation. The contest was known otlicially as the KCeond international aerouautie cup race, and the prize, a massive silver trophy and $2,500 in cash, was to be awarded to the pilot whose skill and daring should land his car farthest from the starting point. As the balloons were of similar design and material the race would go to the French. English, German or American aeronaut who was capable of taking the best dvantagc of favorable winds and who lost the least ground under adversity. The race marked the entrance of the United States into competition with the European nations in a lield which had boon left almost exclusively to them in the. past. It was through the winning of the cup last year In a race from Paris by Lieutenant Frank P. Lalun of the United States army that the contest was brought to this country The three American teams are all that were allowed to enter untTer tho rules of the competition, but so great has interest grown that the Aero Club of America, which was in charge, eoui-5 have entered many times the number of balloons permitted. 'he average person who reads about AER0NAUTS OF FOUR NATIONS balloon ascensions has very little idea of the amount of moral and physical courage it requires to remain up in the clouds after the first twenty-four hours. The strain on the nervous system is something hard to describe until It has been experienced. One gets in that state where he can not trust his eyes and frequently imagines he sees great bodies of water beneath him when he Is hundreds of miles away from any coast. In a balloon It frequently happens that you see the lights of a city directly in front of you as you look down from the basket, ani in a few minutes the city may have fallea nquarely behind you. But that ftoes not prove by any means that jou have sailed over it. Oftentimes Ihe balloon ls whirling around, and you seem to have swept over a town when in fact you may not have moved fifty yards. In addition to the International event, In which only ordinary balloons were allowed to compete, the St. Ijcmis Aero Club offered $5,000 in other prizes to be competed for by any who had an air craft to enter. In this competition dirigible, or balloons propelled by motors, took part, as well as aeroplanes, or any other typo of balloon or airship that has denonstrated that It is anything more than an experiment Cold Over the Equator. At the recent congress of German cijntists Prof. Ilergesell of the StrassUurg university said that balloon experiments had proved that the atmosphere at aigh iltitudes is coldest orer the equator nd warmest over the poles. The balloons ised in these experiments had automatic nstrumcnts attached and were unmanned. At the height of twelve and a half miles :he thermometer registered a temperature )f 148 degrees below zero over the erua:or, while at the same altitude over central Europe the balloons registered enly ü to 85 below zero. Steel Trust Break Record. According to the Iron Age, steel prauc;ion and consumption are still proceeding it a very high rate, the output of all works for September being 1,417,153 tons. On Oct. 2 the mills of the United States Steel Corporation broke all records by produueing 48,326 tons of ingots in a elnI cay. The pig iron markets are Aull. The Cuban labor organizations, a neeting in Havana, adopted a resolution order a general strike, calling out all the unions in the island, if the railways employ non-union men who landed there 6 other day from New York.

Aa auctionr-er has been commissioned to sell the liuens. jewels, souvenirs, etc., belonging to the late Queen of Belgium, the proceeds to be devoted to paying the debt of her daughter. Princess Louise, who was divorced last year by Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Among the objects thus to be sold is a dindesn presented to the queen by the people of Belgium on the occasion of her silver wedding" anniversary. The diadem cost $30,000. Dr. Cooke Ahead of Peary. That another famous American explorer. Dr. Frederick A. Cooke of Brooklyn. N. Y., is now at the head of an expedition safely in winter quarters at Etah, Greenland. CV) miles south of the north pole and north of the farthest Peary staCOMPETE AT ST. LOUIS IN GREAT tion, became known when John It. Bradley, the wealthy New York sportsman, returned to North Sydney on his schooner yacht after landing Cooke, with sleds, dogs and provisions for two years. Mr. Bradley, who is the financial backer ofi this expedition, says that their intentions were kept secret for fear that the Peary expedition would be stirred to greater activity. Cooke will leave Smith's Sound at 79 degrees north latitude, next spring, and after crossing Kllesmereland, will try to reach the pole by the open polar sea. Unlike Peary, Dr. Cooke is to be accompan'ed by only two Eskimos and dogs sufficient for two sleds. The sleds are built with roofs and varmed with lamps so that the occupants tiay sleep while progress is being made. Two canvas boats are also carried From Far and Near The best glass eyes cost about $50 each. Mn. IL D. Money, wife of the Senator from Mississippi, died suddenly at her home near Beau voir. Miss.

Discouraged by ill health, Gen. Ifivro Rojan, commandant of the Bravos district of the Mexican army, committed suicide in his quarters at Juarez by shooting himself in the head with a pistol. Gen. Bojan was 45 years of age and had commanded the Bravos district for the last five years. Miss Helen Miller Gould of New York has given $25,000 for the equipment of the gymnaMum of the new $225,000 Rockefeller gift, the naval Y. M. C. A. at Norfolk, Va. The entire building will be furnished at a minimum of $100 per room as memorials to persons named by the donors. There are to be about 200 of these memorials.

WHY JAPAN VANTS NO WAR.

Another Struggle Would Impose am Unbearable Financial Strain. Japan's national debt is $1,100,000,000,, a sum equaling almost one-seventh of her total national wealth. Of this amount $371,135,500 represents loans made abroad for carrying on the wars with China and with Russia, and the remainder internal obligations. These loans hear, on an average, 5 per cent interest, making her interest item alone some $55,000,000 annually. To meet this debt, principal and interest, and to provide for her running expenses, Japan has a revenue, estimated, for the present year, at $308.227,000, derived in large part from direct taxation on land, incomes, business, mining, customs, sugar, bourses, etc. The fact that this estimate exceeds that of 1904 by $144,404,000 affords a striking illustration of the increasing strain upon the taxpayer in paying the cost of wars. Furthermore, there has been .n increase in the annual pension expense of Japan of from $15,000,000 to $18,000,000 during the past two years. Another :ar would mean more interest charges, increased pensions and heavier taxes upon a people already overburdened withNwar debt. Japan could not hope to prosecute a war against the United States with less expense than that of her struggle against Russia, even if she were successful in obtaining the necessary funds for conducting the conflict. It will be recalled that her 40-year 5 per cent bonds for her $113,000,000 loan in London and Paris zst March brought only Ü'J1,!, whereas gilt-edged, 40-year, 5 per cent investment securities ought to bring more than par. If it is true that the money markets determine wars in these days it is clear that war" between the United States aid Japan is not among the possibilities of the immediate future. A Successful Airship. It would seem that Count Zeppelin, the German enthusiast who has exhausted his fortune in aerial accomplishments, has at last won a triumph which bids frdr to delay or perhaps render impossible the victory of the aeroplane over the dirigible balloon. He has driven his latest airAERIAL RACE FOR RECORD. ship at th rate of thirty-eight miles au hour. In his recent trial. Count Zeppelin completely circumnavigated the Lake of Constance, remaining in the. air for four hours and seventeen minutes, leaving astern the steamers that tried to keep up with him, passing over five different states and making evolutions before the windows of the royal castle at Friedrichshaven. Jfevr Type of Slotor Dont. In France there has recently been launched a motor boat in which the screw propeller is placed at the bow instead of at the stern. This is the invention of Andre Gambin, who claims that the boat is non-carwizable. The screw is known as a "typhonold." It consists of a number of blades symmetrically distributed around an axis terminating in a cylindrical tube. Each blade is composed of two surfaces, one of which is spiral-cylindrical, like a loosely rolled sheet of paper, with Its inner edge at the axis and its outer portion forming part of the enveloping tube. The other surface is smaller, inclined and helicoidal like the Made of an ordinary propeller. It extends from the front end of the cylinder to a spiral line some distance behind the front of the first surface or sheet, the front eges of both bh.dcs being riveted together so aa to form a cutting edge that slopes back from thvs apex to the circumference. This motor is expected to develop a speed of sixty miles an hour with 100 horse-power. The movement for industrial education is the major theme of the October issue of Charities and the Commons. The importance of this movement, it claims, is emphasized by the frequently heard complaints: "No chance to learn a trade today," and "We can't get skilled workers in the trades." Henry S. Pritchett describes the National Society tor the Promotion of Industrial Education. Susan M. Kingsbury asks, "What Is Ahead for the Untrained Child in Industry?" Paul II. Hanus tells the scope of "Industrial Education in Massachusetts," and Charles F. Warner writes on "Industrial Training in the Public Schools." As a result of a quarrel at Carmen, O. T., between F. E. Towns and James L. Dock, two musicians in the band of Golmar Bros.' circus, the latter is perhaps fatally injured. It is said that Towns fired two bullets from a thirtytwo revolver into Dock3 body. Towns is under arrest.

The British government has agreed to pay a fortune as ransom. The capture qf Gen. MacLean, commander of the Sultan's body guard and next to hira the most powerful man in Morocco, was the most spectacular and amazing of all the feats performed by Raisuli. It. was made while the commander wag bearing peace offerings to the outlaw, in sight of his stronghold. Up to the time of his capture by the brigand Caid MacLean was considered invincible by the persons of the Moroccan court. GERMAN BALLOON WINS. Pommer n Cover OOO 31 lien to Atlantic Couxt lu 42 llnnm. ' Germany won the second international balloon cup contest from France by the narrow margin of five miles, unofficial figures. Third place also went to Germany, while America had to be content with fourth honors. The single English entry was ninth and last. The race Is pronounced by experts to be the most remarkable In the history of aeronautics. All racing records were broken, both for length of flight and for the time spent In the air. The world's non-couipetltlve endurance record was also shattered, although t'.ie world's non-competitive record for distance still stands by a big margin. The German balloon Pommern landed at Asbury Park, N. J. The balloon lfud covered 1XK) miles in an air line from St. Louis in- forty-two hours, an average of nearly twenty-one and one-half miles an hour. This established a record for the race, the winning balloon in last year's Initial race starting from Paris covering an air line distance of only 402 miles. Mr. Erbsloeh and his aid, Prof. Clayton, thus carry off tb International aeronautic cup and a cash prize of $2,500. The result or the contest was determined by the number of air miles covered In the flights. The French balloon L'Isle de France made a remarkably game fight for premier honors and came down in New Jersey, but a few miles from the Pommern. The Pommern made an extraordinary flight. When It came down It was in excellent condition and could have added several more hundred miles to its taiiy had the open ocean not been ahead. The reports show that an extremely wide area of country was covered by the balloons, the points at which the nine contestants landed beln.s separated by long distances. Besides the two balloons which came to earth in New Jersey, two more descended in Virginia, while two others landed in Maryland. One of the contestants descended in Ohio, another in Delaware, while Major II. B. Hersey reached the earth In Ontario. Major Hersey used the United States, the same balloon in which he won the race with Lieut. Lahm last year. He was eighth. The victory of the German balloon means that the race next year will be held under the auspices of the German Aero Club. The international cup, which is the gift of James Gordon Bennett, must be won three times by the same club to be held permanently. Pompadour Clerk Win Strike. The young women employed in a Pittsburg department store, upon being told that they would not be allowed to wear their hair in pompadour fashion, formed a union and notified the managers that unless the order was rescinded they would walk out in a body. Thereupon the manager surrendered unconditionally. Sparks from the Wires A mouse seldom lives longer than three years. Centipedes are eaten in some parts of South America. Australian jewelers rent engagement rings to their customers. John Bull figures out that his country has been successful in 82 per cent of the battles in which It has engaged. Allan A.

New York City is making a marvelous growth in the direction of cheap amusements. There are now 400 one-cent, fivecent and dime places of entertainment, where there was not one ten -years ago. Eighty-two per cent of the workers engaged in the paper box industry of the United States are women. Among tobacco and cigar operators two-thirds are women and of the bookbinders more than half. William Ellis Corey refused to allow his actress wife to see her father at the Corey home in New York and Charles Henry Oilman relieved his mind of fifteen minutes' worth of plain talk. Henry Banaka, a farmer who lived near Netawaka, Kan., committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. No cause is given. His brother drowned himself a few years ago. Kentucky, with a population of 55 to each square mile, has only 81-10 miles of railroad line for each 100 square miles, and 14.5 miles for each 10,000 inhabitants. Indiana, with a population of 76 for each square mile, has 10.2 miles of railway per 100 square miles.

OUTLOOK IS BETTEß.

FINANCIAL STORM SEEMS TO HAVE PASSED. Upheaval Among Ca tern Danklng Institutions Takes On 31 ore Hopeful Attitude Denplte Crashes In Pittsburg Weit I Reported Solid. The financial gale in New York, which created excitement in the East, and. occasioned uneasiness in other sections of the country, scenn to have passed. The trouble that started in New York spread to Pittsburg, but prompt and effective action taken by the clearing house association and the directors of the stock exchange there coped with It effectually. The trouble in Tittsburg was precipitated by the announcement of the embarrassment of four concerns in the Westinghouse string of interests, which were unable, owing to the abnormal stringency of the money market, to secure sufficient liquid collateral to meet maturing loans. Reeeivers were appointed for the embarrassed Westinghouse concerns. It was stated that these concerns are entirely solvent, and that creditors would be paid In full. The Iron City Trust Company also went into the hands of reeeivers. Its assets are estimated at $4,000,000 and liabilities at $1,700,000. The transition from unrest to reassurance in New York was due to action taken by J. P. Morgan, James Stillman ind 'a number of the most-Influential financial Interests In the city, who cooperated in an effort to bring order out of the chaotic condition into which the financial community had fallen. A committee was formed to protect trust companies. After a thorough canvass of the situation Secretary Cortelyou pledged government assistance to the extent of $25,000,000. Financial conditions In Chicago remained practically unaffected by the scare in the East. Financiers connected with the leading institutions In the city gave out statements declaring that the flurry had not and would not be felt to any appreciably serious extent by the banks there. Conditions similar to those existing in Chicago were reflected in every important financial center throughout the West. Reports from over a large area say that not only have conditions not been disturbed by the excitement in the East, but that large and Important offers of assistance have been made by western bankers to their troubled confreres In the East The Associated Press report of the speech delivered by W.' J. Bryan at Jamestown, Va., quoted him as saying that the great metropolitan dailies are controlled by the trusts and their columns are open to the highest bidder. Mr. Bryan later denied that this was a correct report, asserting that he made the qualified statement that many of the metropolitan dailies were so controlled. In a leading editorial for the current Federationist, President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor describes Secretary Taft as "the injunction standard bearer," and takes the position that no one can compel a laboring man to buy where he does not want to buy. He says that Taft's contention in regard to the boycott would lead to the dispersion and forcible breaking up by court orders of every assemblage of workingmen, however innocent or lawful their purpose, and to the nullification of all their agreements. Editor Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal, in a New York interview, said that old party lines had ceased to exist and that we must now have a new party. He asserted that Roosevelt had destroyed what was left of the Republican party, and that Rooseveltlsm was like Bryanism in 1S0G. Bryan would have Mexicanired our currency, but Roosevelt's ce-election would Mexicanize the nation. Bryan he characterized as a destroyer of plans and a breaker of images. Watterson says he is out of politics for good. Before the American Baakers Association at Atlantic City, Charles Emory Smith, former Postmaster General, commended the efforts of President Roosevelt to put the big combinations of capital under control of the laws, but said that some of the so-called awakening of the public and the anti-corporation agitation was "a wild and hysterical crusade against all colossal enterprises end all corporate activity." He thought there was a call for sober judgment and that it was senseless to decry all combinations. He concluded that regulation itself might need to be regulated and that the craze for fantastic Interference in some States would in due time run its course. From his prison cell former Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco hts directed the movements of tke Union Labor party and controlled its convention so as Fo prevent a fusion with the reform elements favorable to the election of the present Mayor, Dr. Taylor. The Republican have nominated a machine man named Ryan, thus further splitting up the city vote, but the Democrats have renominated Mayor Taylor, and they have been joined by the independent reform organizations. All factions except the Labor party have renominated District Attorney Langdon. The Republican State convention at Lincoln, Neb., formally recognized Secretary Taft as the logical candidate to perpetuate the policies of President Roosevelt. On the same day the Democratic State convention indorsed Bryan for President and Johnson for Vice President. Judge K. M.-Landis, when told that there was a movement on foot to secure for him the Democratic presidential nomination, said : "To assume that I would accept political preferment as a reward for anything I might do on the bench is to impeach my integrity as a man and my honor as a judge. No, sir; I won't dignify the rumor by discussing it" Justice W. J. Gaynor of Brooklyn, N. Y., in his address at the Brooklyn day exercises at Jamestown, defended the antirebate policy of the President, which, he said, was in no sense a general assault on corporations. He made the novel suggestion that the government appoint the peneral freight agent of every railroad to see that there is no favoritism and cause the indictment and conviction of any agent who didn't play fair. Justice Gaynor went further and said that If the people could not stop rebating except by raking the railroads over then they would take them. China bas the lowest tax rate.
